The New York Mets have taken the “Big Apple” by storm with their dominant start to the 2015 MLB season. The Metropolitans currently sit atop the NL East with an impressive 20-11 record with no indication they will surrender their lead anytime soon. The million dollar question is are the Mets legitimate contenders or just early season pretenders?
The Mets engine to success is being churned by their pitching staff who are second in the majors with 20 quality starts. The likes of Bartolo Colon, Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom and Jon Niese have quarterbacked the attack and kept the Mets offense in most contests thus far.
